520 $a In order to work in large-scale environments, a hybrid map approach has been used. The hybrid map includes both topological and geometric maps.
520 $a Localization is a fundamental problem of autonomous mobile robots. Localization is the determination of the position and orientation of a robot. Most localization systems are made up of several sensors and a map of the environment.
520 $a The system described in this dissertation uses an appearance-based approach for recognizing the different locations.
520 $a Topological testing was also performed using images from polar camp locations, but the results are inconclusive because of the relatively few number of images. The system is able to localize 20% of the images.
520 $a The PRISM/CReSIS project is developing autonomous robots in an effort to measure ice sheets characteristics in Greenland and Antarctica. These robots currently rely on differential GPS for localization and navigation. In order to survive for long periods of time in these environments, however, the robots needs to be able to return to camp sites in order to refuel and unload the data that has been acquired. In order to perform this task effectively and safely, a more elaborate system is required. A localization system that can recognize the different locations of the camp sites is the beginning of this process.
520 $a The approach of this dissertation is to use a single camera for use in multiple types of large-scale environments: indoors, outdoors, and in polar camp sites in Greenland and Antarctica. The camera is selected as the sensor for several reasons. First, a single image potentially contains a lot of information that can be used in many different ways. Second, the size of a camera allows for the system to be used on many different platforms, including those with limited payloads such as UAVs (uncrewed aerial vehicles). This also allows for the system to be very portable if necessary, and can be plugged into already existing systems more easily. Lastly, the cost of cameras allow for the system to be used in large quantities. For example, a potential application of this system is using teams of robots for seismic sensing. This would require many cameras for use on numerous mobile robots.
520 $a The results of the testing showed that 95% of the images for non-polar regions, both indoor and outdoor, were localized correctly with respect to the topological map. The system typically required at least two images to solve the global localization problem, and around three images to solve the kidnapped robot problem.
520 $a The metrics for the geometric testing are position accuracy and orientation accuracy. Position accuracy is the percentage of images that are correctly localized with respect to the position. Orientation accuracy is the percentage of images that are correctly localized with respect to the orientation.
520 $a The geometric testing is performed in non-polar locations, both indoors and outdoors. The experiments result in 94% of the images being localized correctly for the position, and 90% of the images for the orientation. These images are localized to within 1 foot and 45 degrees of the actual position and orientation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
